Thank you very much!
thanks!
Henry Ford, was quite a guy. I wonder from who he got his $ loans from. There was 1 business man at the time, named Jay Gould. He never got any loans and was almost as rich as Henry Ford. Jay in not spoken of because of the public education system prohibits such nonsense as how they put it.
